Hi anyone have any advise, i know it.may be TMI but i have thrush I'm nearly 6 weeks so very early days, dr google gave conflicting advice and pharmacist said ask my doctor (its Saturday so not open) or midwife (dont have one yet and emergency only on weekends for local midwife unit) so anyone know if I can use Clotrimozole cream down below?

Yes use the cream (see above link) Thrush is so common in early pregnancy. Joy!

I've had reoccurring thrush this pregnancy! Dr needs to prescribe treatment they won't sell over counter for pregnant ladies. If it's still early days you could prob get away with buying without saying.

I've got cream and also had a 1 day and 7 day pessary course. Advices to use fingers not the applicator by dr.

I've been plagued by it this pregnancy Sad
